Today started out as an okay day, until Alissa asked me if she can meet Vi. I, of course, disagreed as I didn't want her to embarrass me in front of her or her siblings, but Alissa being Alissa, she somehow convinced me. So here I am, heading over to Vi's house, with Alissa and the crew. Yea, they decided to tag along - which just means to embarrass me, really - and I had no choice whatsoever.

I knocked on Vi's door even though I didn't have to as I always go here everyday for like, the past few days and all, but I'm Neels Visser, the guy who's attempting to win Violet Harris' heart, even though I'm failing at doing so. The door quickly opened and I was greeted by arms being wrapped around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her petite figure and the others, well, they snickered. But I don't really care about that right now.

"Nice to see you again, Neels." "You just saw me yesterday though." She giggled which caused my heart to leap. She motioned for all of us to come inside and we all sat around the living room.

"So, who might the rest of you be?" She asked to which Alissa got excited about. "My name is Alissa Violet. Those guys over there are Jake Paul, AJ Mitchell and Alex Lange. Then the twins are Lucas and Marcus Dobre. Lucas has straight hair while Marcus has curly hair. We're called Team 10!"

Vi smiled at her rambling while the rest of us listened. Well, they did, I didn't. I was too busy staring at Vi. I mean, come on, she's beautiful, why wouldn't I?

"Well, if Neels would stop staring at Vivi, can we please go to Taco Bell?" Lucas said causing me to turn red. She blushed and giggled at me while agreeing to Lucas' offer. We all left her house to our destined location.

"Marcus stop stealing my tacos!" "You stole from mine as well!" Vi stared at them, amused as if she doesn't fight with her siblings.

"Those two are hilarious. And they're dancers as well?" She turned to me, awaiting my answer. But I couldn't form any words to answer her. I was jealous. Too jealous, in fact. Lucas and Marcus are amazing dancers, and the fact she took interest in them made me feel a little depressed and extremely jealous of them. I nodded at her as I clenched my jaw. I formed my hand that was under the table into a fist. I had to keep cool. She can't know about it. Not now at least.

"Neels?" I tensed as she placed her hand on my shoulder. As I turned to face her, it was then that I realized just how close her face was to mine. How close those soft lips were. I started leaning forward without realizing it. But we got interrupted, by Jake Paul. We both jumped back and looked at anything and anywhere but each other. It was so awkward. I wanted to bury myself six feet under and never come back again. Yea, that awkward.

I completely zoned, still thinking about our almost kiss. I think it happened twice already. Not sure. Alissa noticed that we weren't talking each other. It wasn't a good sign. She'd find out for sure what happened. And I don't want that. At. All.

"This is the first time Neels hasn't listened to Jake's stories. I wonder why?" Alissa pointed out loud and clear. I bet the whole store heard her.

"WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU NOT LISTEN?!" Jake started to fake cry while Lucas pretended to comfort him. I rolled my eyes at them and finished my taco.

"Violet hurry up and finish your taco! You're only 1/4 there!" Marcus yelled laughing. It was true though. She has only eaten 1/4 of it. She laughed along with him. That laugh, it was the most melodic thing I've ever heard. But I quickly grew jealous again. She was laughing but not because of me. Because of Marcus. And I wanted to be the one to make her laugh. To make her smile. To make her happy. I'm not letting Marcus have her. Never.

"Umm, guys, there's a crowd of fans running over to Taco Bell right now." Jake pointed out. We all looked at the entrance and saw a lot of them running at full force and screaming at the top of their lungs. We all looked at each other and yelled, "RUN!" And so we did.

We stood up and ran towards the back, not caring if we might've accidentally stepped on someone's foot. I grabbed Violet's hand and ran faster. Heck, I didn't even noticed I grabbed it. We just continued to run with the others to somewhere where we wouldn't be seen. And that place you may be asking? The park where I met Violet.

"Have we lost them?" Marcus asked. We all stopped and tried to catch our breath. Violet and I looked back to see only a few old couples being sweet to each other. "Yea, we definitely lost them." Vi replied to him, but I barely noticed it.

I was still staring at the old couples, wishing that if I were to be that old, I'd want Violet to be next to me and we'd do such sweet and cringy things. And that we wouldn't care because we would be lost in our own little world.

"Please tell me you guys are dating!" Marcus suddenly yelled, causing Violet and I to look at him. He had a huge smile on his face and his eyes were pleading us to say yes. The rest were doing that too.

"What do you guys mean?" I asked, confused. "YOUR HANDS!" AJ and Alex yelled, making us look at our hands and quickly letting go. And yes, I already miss the warmth of her hand in mine.

"We aren't dating." She replied to them. "Then why were you holding hands?" Alissa inquired. "I didn't want to lose sight of her when we were running so I held it, okay?!" I yelled, frustrated. "Righttttttttttt." They all said. We both rolled our eyes and left them.

"So, want to watch 13 Reasons Why?" "Sure." And with that we headed back to her house while the others were locked out. Nice way to end a Wednesday.
